Tunbridge Wells MP Greg Clark faced a grilling from Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on ITV’s Good Morning Britain today after refusing to answer yes or no to a Brexit question.

The cabinet minister, currently serving as secretary of state for business, energy, and industrial strategy, was called out by Piers Morgan for not directly answering whether he would choose to vote for Brexit if a referendum was held today.

When he was first asked the question, Mr Clark responds: “There isn’t another referendum, I’m not going to answer hypothetically.”

Mr Clark responded: “I believe that we have to get the best deal through these negotiations.

“I think actually it’s possible for us to do that – because in the world I have been describing, it’s a very interconnected world, not just with Europe but around the world.

“I think we can get a good deal, I think it’s in everyone’s interests to get a good deal, and I think through these negotiations if we keep a cool head and we approach them in a constructive way as we are, then actually I think the opportunities – not only to continue to trade, and some of the industries we’ve been talking about are very much cross-border, we can do more for that.”

The interview concludes with Piers Morgan asking whether Mr Clark is “capable of a yes or no answer”, finishing with the question, “Are you prepared to answer yes or no to the allegation that you are named Greg Clark?”
